EnviroInfo 2009

This international workshop on Risk Management related to ICT for the environment will enable sharing of best practice as well as giving space for discussing methodological problems in risk modeling from the information system point of view. There is growing concern on local, regional, national and international level to increase preparedness and substantially support decision making at various levels of actions to be taken in environmental risk situations. These fields are both related to the follow-up of legislation and management for authorities on all spatial levels as well as for factories owners of SME's and of transnational companies. All involved stakeholders are welcome: decision makers, users, civil servants, technicians and researchers from the private and public sector in EU and other regions are invited to communicate experiences and discuss the necessary strategies for methodological, technical and managerial improvements. The workshops aim is also to elaborate a general methodology of risk modeling and find recommendations for adequate information system components.
